BROILING-RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,372, dated March.29,1887.

Application filed July 12, 1886. Serial No. 207,756. (No model.)

To all whom, it 1v1/cry concern.-

Be it known that we, ETTORE @ALONE and FERDINAND DAN'roN, residents ofthe city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Broiling-Rangcs; and we do hereby declare thatthe following is a full and exact description thereof, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, making a part of this speciiication.

Our invention relates to ranges specially adapted for broiling, and hasfor its object to so construct the range as that the smoke or vaporsfrom thebroiling meats shall be drawn by a downward draft through thebedof coals., and be thereby consumed, and to prevent, consequently, theliability ofy the meats to burn and catch fire, obviate all smoke orodor therefrom, and relieve the cook from the need of giving constantattention thereto,as well as from exposure to the intense heat of theiire to which an attendant upon an ordinary form of broiler issubjected.

It has also for its object the conversion of the broiling-range into'anordinary stove with facility, so that the apparatus may be used forcooking` in any desired manner. These objects are attained by thecombination, in manner substantially as hereinafter described, with thenre-box and ash-pit of the stove or range, of a draft-chamber and lineat the rear thereof, communicating directly with the chimney, and also,through suitable openings gov'- erned by dampers or valves, both withthe ash-pit below the grate and with the upper portion of the fire-boxabove the grate, whereby the draft ordinarily created from the ash-pitupward through the fuel on the grate into the fire-box and out fromabove the fire to the chimney may be reversed, and caused to pass fromthe top of the stove downward through the fire-box and through theburning fuel on the grate, and thence from under the fire out to thechimney, and also, by the combination, with such a range or stove, of asliding top adapted to cover and uncover the tire-box in manner ashereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of ourimproved range with the sliding top moved back in readiness for the useof the range in broiling, and Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectionthereof in the line x x ofEig. l.

A represents the outer casing of the range;

B, the fire-box, which is lined with fire-brickY as its conthe rangedoes not differ essentially from many forms of stoves and ranges incommon use, and it may be modified in these particulars,as well as inthe proportions of its parts.

II represents a draft chamber or flue adapted to establish directcommunication, when required, between the ash-pit E and thedischarge-flue or smoke-pipe I of the stove or range, by which it isconnected to a chimney. This draft chamber or flue II is separated fromthe rebox B and ash-pit E by a partition, preferably extending from thetop plate to the bottom plate of the stove and from side to sidethereof, and it is inclosed and completed by the rear plate of thestove, and by its top, side, and bottom plates, extended for thepurpose, as shown in the drawings.

lThe upper portion of the draft-chamber H communicates directly with thesmoke-pipe I, and through it with the chimney. It also communicates withthe upper portion of the firebox,near to the top of the stove, by meansof an opening, J, in the interposed partition, as shown in Fig. 2,whereby a direct draft may be obtained upward and outward from theash-pit up through the grate and fire-box to the smoke-pipe I, in thecustomary manner common to all stoves. This draft-opening J is tted witha da1nper-door,a, by which it may be entirely or partially closed, asrequired. A second opening is formed in said partition immediatelyoverthe grate D, whereby upon closing the aslrpit door and the damper Aa draft may be produced from the top of the stove laterally downwardthrough the fire, outward into the chamber H,and to the smokepipc I 5and this opening is fitted with a perforated plate or grating, K, andalso with a damper-door, b, by which itis openedor closed at pleasure. Athird extended opening,L, is formedin the partition between the draft-chainber H and the ash-pit E,below the grate-bars D, whereby a downdraftmay berereatedfrom above the bed'of fuel on the grate-bars down throughthe grate-bars and ash-pit, and thence outward through the chamber H tothe smokepipe I. This third independent opening is also fitted with acontrolling-damper, c, opening into the chamber H,asillustratedin Fig.2.

A detachable broiler-grating, M, is tted to rest over the top of thefire-box B,immediately below the top of the range.

The Whole top or cover N of the range is movable, and is mounted toslide in suitable ways from front to rear,so as to wh olly uncover thefire-box B and broiling-grate H, when required. \Vhen pushed back, thetop is supported partly upon thetop ofthe compartment Hand partly uponbrackets P I), projecting rearward from the stove.

Access to the compartment H,for the puri pose vof cleaning it &c., isprovided by means ofa side door, R. (See Fig. l.)

In the use of therange,the fuel is placed and the fire is kindled inthecustomary manner in the fire-box B, the coke or coal covering not onlythe bottom grate, D, but also the rear grat-ing,l. It`,now,the range isto be used as a stove, the broiling-grate M is removed and the cover Nis drawn forward over the fireboX, while the dampers b and o are closedand the front damper, G, or front door, F, of the range is opened. Thedraft is now carried in the usual manner from the opening at G or Fthrough the ash-pit E, upward through the body of fuellying on the grateD,and out tothe chimney through the upper draft-opening, J, by whosedamper a the consumption of fuel and intensity of the fire may beregulated.

NVhen the range is to be used for broi'ling, which is the chief end ofits construction, the cover N is pushed back, as shown in the drawings,the broiling-grate M is fitted in place, and the upper damper, a, andthe lower front door and damper, G, are tightly closed,while either orboth of the dampers b and c are opened, as therrconditionY of the rireor the character of the article to be cooked may require. The draft willnow pass from above the broilinggrate M, down through the body of coalsupon the grate D, and out laterally through the openings in thegrating-bars K, and also down between the grate-bars D into the aslrpit,and through the opening Linto the draft-chamber H, and through it to theflue I and chimney. This downward draft through the fire will carry withit the smoke from the cooking meat and from the drippings of fattherefrom into contact with the incandescent fuel on the grate, to bethereby consumed, instead of passing out into the room, while thisdownward draft of air will prevent also the heat from the ire fromradiating upward into the face'and eyes of the cook when in attendance.Y

Where the bed of coals is of but comparatively slight depth, the damperb is closed, as well as the upper damper, e, so that the draft isdirectly wholly downward through the grate D.

X/Ve claim as our invention- 1. The combination,with the tire-box,grate, and ash-pit in a stove or range, of a transverse partitioninterposed between the rear of the fire-box or ashpitaud the rear wallof the stove or range, to form a draftchamber eX- tending from top tobottom thereof, communicating by means of draft-openings in saidpartition both with the upper portion of the fire-box and with theash-pit, dampers controlling and closing, respectively, each of saidopenings, and a smoke pipe or ue to connect the upper end of thedraft-chamber with a chimney, all substantially in the manner and forthe purpose herein set forth.

2. The coinbination,with the re-boX, grate, and ash-pit in a stove orrange, of a transverse partition interposed betweenv the rear of thefire-box or ash-pit and the rear wall of the stove or range, to form adraft-chamber extending froni top to bottom thereof, communicating bymeans of draft-openings in said partition with the upper portion of thefireboX, the lower portion of the re-boX just above its bottomgrate-bars, and with the ashpit, a grate fitted in the central opening,dainpers closing and controlling, respectively, each of the openings,and a smoke pipe or flue to connect th'e'upper end of the draftchamberwith a chimney, substantially in the manner and for the purpose hereinset forth.

3. The coinbination,\vith the iirebox, grate, and ash-pit in a stove orrange, of a transverse partition vinterposed between the rear of thefire-box or ash-pit and the rear wall of the stove or range, to form adraft-chamber eX- tending from top to bottom thereof, communicating bymeans of draft-openings in said partition both with the upper portion ofthe fire-box and with the ash-pit, dampers controlling and closing,respectively, cach of said IOO IIO
